I'm The Strong One...

I'm the strong one
Think what you must
But the truth, you want the truth?
I'm the one that's barely holding on

I'm not trying to be like her,
Who waved her burnt covered arms around,
I'm not trying to be the pretender,
Who said one thing and did another,
I'm not trying to tell you a handful of lies,
I'm trying to be truthful

It's so hard when I'm expected to be strong
For help the people who need it
And I'm so sorry...
Because I don't help people enough
I'm sorry I can't live up to your expectations

I'm so sorry for the people who need me
Because I can do better
I can be there more
But I'm not.
